How should I deal with my controlling boyfriend?

Question

I have a really controlling boyfriend. And I have gotten used to it because that’s just the way he is. It has gotten to the point where I am losing my good friends, I’m not happy, and I have been crying all the time because he doesn’t let me do anything. I guess you can say I am close to being miserable. Every time I talk to him about it he takes it to a totally different level though, and makes huge changes that aren’t necessary. I just don’t know how to balance the happiness between the two of us. How can we be happy?

Answer 1

Having a controlling partner is never a good thing. Your boyfriend should enhance your life, not make it miserable. Someone who treats you like a child and tries to control your every move doesn’t truly love you. They may think they and say they do, but they don’t. Someone who truly loves you will willingly give you the freedom to live your life as you choose.
